I know stuff, although most of it is useless.
Like, only 30 percent of people can flare their nostrils.
I know that two-thirds of people tilt their heads to the right when they kiss and that supposedly chewing gum while cutting onions will keep you from crying. Since I don’t chew gum, I don’t know how true that is. I also don’t know why onions make you cry.

Christian author and speaker Paul Tripp tells the story of his 3-year-old son Darnay who was wandering around their backyard one day oblivious to the fact that his older brother was playing baseball by hitting stones with a rake handle.
Eventually, the older brother took a swing and accidently struck little Darnay squarely on his forehead. His sister, also in the backyard, began to scream at the sight of poor Darnay on the ground bleeding.
Paul went out and started to mop away the blood to determine how bad it was. The older brother was pleading his innocence.

Here’s a question for you: When is sin a good thing?
Recently, I heard a preacher say, “The greatest gift that God gives to the people he loves is their sin -- when they know it.”
I’ll let you digest that for a minute.
The preacher did NOT say that God thinks sin is good. Sin is what separates the creature from the Creator, the very thing that caused Jesus to die for us.
No, the preacher said that our sin, when we know it and own it and hate it, is a gift, a gift from God.
How can that be?

What excitement there must have been in Israel when they finally got the King they wanted. Now they were like every other nation around … they had a leader.
And a great leader he was going to be.
He was a head taller than everyone else, an impressive man to lead them into the future.
It must have been a day of great hope and excitement. And the great thing was, he was chosen by God through their greatest priest/prophet/judge … Samuel himself.

By the time I left the newsroom I was ready to rip out my hair or stick a hot poker in my ears.
All day the noise and commotion drove me to distraction -- and it had been a fairly quiet day. I was alone in the pod I share with two other reporters and my phone only rang once.
You would think the quiet would be conducive to a productive day, but I could barely put two sentences together because of the noise and commotion coming from within, my whirlwind thoughts stirring up fears and anxieties I thought I had put to rest.

Did you know that your body is the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Did you know that Jesus loves you and wants only the best things in this life for you?
Did you know that God wants you to keep his temple clean and in good shape?
